Why am I called dumb for not evacuating? I live almost 200 miles inland , and on an elevated hill, also no rivers and lakes nearby , also the people who just ran and leave all their stuff aren't going to get any reimbursement for the damage, there's going to be a lot of poor homeless refugees, meanwhile a rainstorm and some 40 mph wind happened to my neighborhood. Also my neighborhood didn't lose electricity at all. Nor did my street have any significant flooding, the driveway is pretty steep. Protect yourself and family ,and pets too, and don't leave your house for looters to pillage

"Targets"? Why do they use that word? It's not "targeting" anything.. Nature it's just doing her thing.. not it's fault that a ton of tiny, puny humans are on its path. Or maybe, IT IS targeting us, the same way we target and wipe out ants when they overrun a kitchen.. Think about it.

(note: I know this is a joke, don't get ur knickers in a twist) Or it could just be a conglomeration of water, excited electrons, and air molecules being violently pushed in a circular motion, and people feel it necessary to name this natural system something because they're so frequent. If ppl don't wanna be offended let's name it hurricane chair or typhoon tax benefits. Let's not personify forces of nature.

My prayers are going out to those in the path of Hurricane Florence ❤️ Irma was a huge reality for my family this time last year and I know that after the storm it can take awhile for a new normal to set in. Praying everyone keeps safe, dry, and always remember things can be replaced, but your life can’t ❤️ Stay safe everyone!!
